CNN-IBN

Ranchi: The Jharkhand Police on Saturday detained three more people taking the total number to seven, in connection with the brutal murder of nun-cum-activist Valsa John in Pakur district.

The needle of suspicion in the murder is now pointing at the coal mafia after her family claimed she received death threats.

Valsa's murder has taken a political colour in Jharkhand with both the ruling coalition and opposition making allegations and counter allegations. She was murdered in Pakur district of Jharkhand by a group of 40 unidentified men who dragged her out of her house and axed her to death.

Valsa even gave political outfits a tough time, sometimes causing even JMM chief Shibu Shoren to leave public meetings midway if she so desired.

Valsa's brutal murder raised many questions and only an independent probe can bring out the truth.
